坚定自己的梦想

1.The Importance of Finding Out what Motivates You
let’s find out what the importance of motivation exactly is. Simply put, motivation is that driving force which allows you to achieve your goals and go after what you want in life. If you want to change your personality for the better, get a promotion at work, start a new habit, be a better person who is part of the community, become a better parent for your kid – all of these things would be easier accomplished if you are properly motivated.
找出自己的梦想
你的动力源是什么？动力是你生活的推力，是通往成功的阶梯，无论你的理想是什么：完善自己的性格，升职，培养一个新的兴趣，你必须找到自己的动力所在。

拥有目标

2. Focus on one goal at a time.

This should be partnered with the fact that you should make sure that your short-term goals all help in achieving your long-term goals. One of the best ways for you to focus on one goal at a time is to make a diary of your goals – yes, write it down – so that you will have a visual representation of the things that you want to achieve rather than letting it all get lost in your head.
拥有目标
为长远的目标设立小的短期目标，你可以将它写在日记本上。

远离影响事物

3. Get rid of all the distractions which might prevent you from achieving your goal.

Let’s say that you are a writer who wants to finish a book. How can you type away on your keyboard one chapter after another if there are many distractions surrounding you like television, friends chattering away or the lure of aimlessly browsing through the Internet. In order for you to stay properly motivated, make sure to steer clear of any distractions.
远离可能让自己泄气的事物
如果你想写成一本书，你不可能完成如果你整天守着电视，和朋友聊天。因此，你必须远离可能影响自己的人或者物。

避开负面影响

4. Completely block out any negative influences.

Make sure that you are completely blocking out any negative influences in your life. If you feel that you are being distracted from your goal by a problem which does not seem to go away, ask yourself what you can do to eliminate such a challenge and distraction in your life. Maybe you are being sidetracked by negative thoughts and feelings because you have no faith in yourself. Addressing the root of the problem, completely blocking out any negative distractions and thinking purely positive thoughts is the best way for you to develop motivation in your everyday life.
避开负面影响
如果你发现自己碰到了一个很难解决的问题，那么想想自己可以做什么，尽量避免或缩小这个问题带来的影响。你可能被自己的消极思想引导了，不相信自己。

朝着目标奋斗

5.Constantly Work At Motivating Yourself
A goal doesn’t do you much good unless you are constantly thinking about, and working towards it. Write down your goal and place it somewhere that you will see it at least 1-2 times a day. If you have a weight loss goal, place your written goal beside the refrigerator. If your goal is to get physically stronger, place your written goal near your weight bench so you can see it when you are working
朝着目标奋斗
目标永远不能实现，除非你靠着它一步步前进，每天提醒自己1-2次自己的目标是什么。

每天鼓励自己

6.Cut pictures out of the car that you want, or the TV, stereo, golf clubs, whatever you are aiming for, and put them up somewhere you can see them every day. On the fridge door, or on the wall next to the computer. When you look say "That's my car" or "That's my TV". Visualizing these items as yours will help keep you motivated.
将你的奋斗目标放在自己可以看见的地方，每天鼓励自己。

自己激励自己

7.Anyone who has had serious issues with motivation knows that someone telling you to "stay motivated" is a bit daft, since you weren't in a motivated state to begin with, and as such, is hard to stay in. However anyone can get themselves motivated.
自己激励自己。别人再怎么激励你，都是徒劳的，你必须自己坚定奋斗的目标，才可能有奋斗的动力。

证明自己是最好的

8.Don't just think that you're the best, prove it to yourself. Your opinion matters the most in your own motivation, but you know when you're pulling your own leg as to your accomplishments. It's far easier to just start dealing with your responsibilities and knowing, with an incredibly strong epistemic justification (by which I mean, you KNOW this) that you can handle what comes up because you have before, than trying to know you can tackle it because you're all warm and fuzzy inside. Warm and fuzzy accomplishes very little, but neither does beating yourself up.
证明自己是最好的。不要总是告诉自己，自己是最好的，用时间来证明更有效。

认真做好每一步

9.Reward yourself when you complete a part of your task, your mind will recognise this and you will want to do whatever you did to give yourself a treat more.
认真做好每一个小目标。

失败了继续前进

10.Get back up if you fall. Start again. Start where you are comfortable. Getting back up to try again, no matter how small that task, goal, activity, errand, or whim; If you can complete it, you are already back on your way. Get up, don't look back. Cheers!
失败了继续前进。在自己失败的地方重新站起来，继续奋斗。
